Large pieces of weeds and small tree branches can decompose if let to sit in a pile for a year.

Smaller pieces, turned regulary, with the right amount of water can actually make great smelling earth in as little as three weeks!

HOW TO TELL IF IT IS WORKING

When the pile has the right amount of water and air, there should be no odor! The pile should also shrink to half it’s size in a few days when the pieces are small. These are signs that you are doing it right.

The fresh scent of earth is also the best test to show that the compost is decomposed enough for your garden as well.

This process is so worth mastering! There is nothing like quality compost to repel pests, feed plants and nourish people!
